Folded Yarn: The calculations for ascertaining the resultant counts of folded yarns when the counts of the component threads are given in the direct or universal system like tex is very simple. This is because of the fact that the count number in these systems expresses the weight of one length unit of the yarn…
The weight of all textile materials varies with the variations in the relative humidity of the surrounding atmosphere in which they are kept. The variations in the weight of different textiles are different. Therefore, the normal practice in the trade is to have the conditioned weight of textiles as the basis of the purchase or…
The calculations involved in determining the average counts in the tex system are much simpler than those of the indirect systems. This is because it is a direct system and the length and weight units are in the metric system. In this article, we will discuss average count calculation in tex system with different examples….
Counting of reed count: Reed determines the spacing of warp threads. Ordinary reed used for weaving cotton fabrics is made of rustless steel wires. They are bound at each end on balks by pith bands, whose thickness determines the spacing of dents. Sometimes brass wires are used instead of rustless steel. In this article, counting…
Stitch length: Stitch length (knitting) is the length of yarn in a knitted loop. It’s theoretically a single length of yarn which includes one needle loop half the length of yarn (half of a sinker loop) between that needle loop and the adjacent needle loops on either side of it. In this article Relation between…
Neps Count: Nep count is the number of neps per 100 square inch of card web forming a standard hank of the sliver of 0.12 Ne on a 40-inch wide card. In this article, we will know how to calculate neps count from the card web. Before we know how to calculate it, we have…
